Avocado Pesto Pasta With Smoked Salmon

• To make the avocado pesto:
• 1 ripe avocado, big stone cut out, flesh spooned out
• 3 fat cloves of garlic, peeled & roughly chopped
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, leaves torn
• 4 tablespoons fruity extra virgin olive oil
• zest of 1/2 organic unwaxed lemon
• juice of the same lemon halve
• 1/2 teaspoon Maldon sea salt
• 20 grins of finely milled black pepper
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts: Take a fitting non-stick pan & heat up on low. Place your pine nuts in here, in 1 layer in it. After a few minutes, the nuts begin to get brownish in colour & will get fragrant. Turn the heat onto lower but don't let the nuts burn,...Turn
• For the rest:
• 300 grams organic white spelt penne
• 150-250 grams smoked salmon pieces

1. Cook your spelt farfalle according to your packet instructions. Drain well. Keep warm. In the meantime, make your avocado pesto! Take a food processor & add cut up garlic, basil leaves, olive oil, avocado flesh, zest & juice of 1/2 lemon, sea salt & black pepper. Pulse or mix on speed 1 again & again or until fully joined. Taste! You must taste the basil, lemon, garlic & in the end the avocado. It must taste awesome!
2. Cut your smoked salmon pieces into smaller pieces, like picture above, about 50-100 gr per person, per plate.
3. Plate up! Divide the spelt farfalle over 3 pasta plates. Add to each pasta plate, a dollop of 2-3 on top of the pasta. Arrange your smoked salmon pieces besides the pasta dish, like picture above & place a cooked spelt farfalle in the middle, on top of the avocado pesto! Enjoy instantly with loves one's! :) Avocado power, yeah! xxx
